Q: Pain During Sleep Paralysis
asked by: shortstuff16 on December 28th, 2005

Okay I need help with a question. I've experienced sleep paralysis all my life, and sometimes it is just the whole inability to move for a few secounds to the whole hearing noises and feeling a presence in the room, but lately it's been different. This summer I expereinced sp alot , because (being summer vacation ) my sleeping routine was messed up, but in august I had an experience but I got this odd pain in my stomache at the beginging of it.

Now, I know that there is usually a crushing pain on your chest, and i've delt with that before but this is different. It's really hard to explain because it's not a sharp pain, or a burning pain either, it's just a really odd pain around my stomache, and it only happens during sp. The wierd thing though is that this never happened until this august and now anytime I experience sp it happens. I've surfed the net but I haven't really found anything about this, so does anybody expreince this too, or atleast know anybody I could email who might have answers.

I'm really just curiious not so much of what this pain is, but more so why it is just happening now. Anywho, thanks for your help!

Narcolepsy runs in my boyfriends family.
When he was younger he used to have episodes of sleep paralysis.
He said that he was awake and he couldn't move or see. But his brain would make a picture of what was going on around him. and if he tried to move or wake himself up it would hurt really bad.
Maybe you can relate to this?

i've experianced SP a number of times mostly a lot more now that i'm in my 20's ... i have a very active imagination sometimes too active, which my dreams are pretty crazy sometimes. recently (2 days ago) i had sp happen in the morning and i didn't try to move i was riding it out (because i'm used to it by now) and when i just let whatever happend it was so WEIRD! i started to feel EXTREME PAIN on random parts of my body....my ribs, thigh, and crotch area.....pulsating deep pains, it was weird I didn't move or scream I was wondering what the hell was happening! my legs seemed to be floating like if something was grabbing my ankles, and then i totally freaked out and completely woke up out of this weird trance like SP stage i was in........it freaked me out, but idk i try not to read too much on the whole evil spirits thing, or else i'll drive myself crazy, so i just tell myself it's not a big deal. even though every inch of me is telling me how creepy it felt..
